Bloomington, Minn. — During the season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate was cryptic and careful about sharing his thoughts. He said he believed he knew what the team needed to be great, but preferred to keep it to himself, not wanting to throw anyone under the bus.
Making the rounds at the Super Bowl, promoting jersey rental service Rep the Squad, a company he has an ownership stake in, Tate offered some clarity on what he believes separated the Lions from this year’s playoff teams.
“I think we have really, really good offensive linemen and really good running backs,” Tate said.
